Associate Director

Profile

As an Associate Director at Clearwater International Denmark, I have gained experience advising on mid-market transactions including domestic and cross-border sell-side and buy-side M&A and leveraged buy-outs for both industrial and private equity clients.

My career started in 2013 working for Kukula Capital, the leading private equity firm in Zambia. I joined Clearwater International Denmark in 2014, and have since collaborated directly with top executive management teams to develop client presentations, determine how to present investment highlights to potential investors, and build financial and valuation models.

I have worked with clients in various sectors including consumer, food & beverage, business services, industrials & chemicals, and energy. Working with a variety of clients has taught me a deeper understanding of value creation in numerous business models.

I consider it a privilege to advise skillful clients in M&A processes, where the team and I can translate our experience and sector expertise into value for the client. Working alongside passionate clients with different backgrounds motivates me to embrace diverse ideas and manage challenges successfully.

I have a MSc in Finance from Aarhus School of Business and Social Science supplemented with studies at University of New South Wales in Sydney and Copenhagen Business School.
